i never stick up for hasbro.. but with a line like this.. why would they release all of the "good stuff" first?.. they want people to hold on to the line.. not get what they want and get out. and they also want to attract all star wars fans.. not just OT fans.

It's no secret, the prequel films were not a great experience for the franchise. I'd rather they just make the figures most people actually want from the OT and then do the lame movies so everybody who doesn't care about those can leave and not be forced to wait for the figures they want because Darth Maul was considered more important to do in wave 1 rather than Vader. I'm not 100% opposed to the PT getting toys, but getting Hayden Christensen and Ewan Mcgregor before the real Darth Vader and Alec Guinness' Obi Wan is irritating.
While the second trilogy of movies was inferior to the original ones, there's honestly a bunch of newer characters from the prequels that I'd rather have before we start getting powerhouse "essential" characters like Lando, Dengar, IG-88, or Yak Face. I honestly didn't care for any of the prequels, but I can't deny that they were loaded with cool characters such as Jango Fett, Mace Windu, Count Dooku, General Grevious, or Darth Sidious (who we are sort of getting with Palpatine.)

Many of the other characters that were on screen for only seconds in the movies, but played much bigger roles in the Clone Wars series, such as Commander Cody (who we're getting) Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Ahsoka Tano and Asaj Ventress (the last two who were not in the movies, but were awesome characters nevertheless) were also great characters, and I would take them as well over another Han Solo in stormtrooper gear or Leia as Boush. Just because the prequels weren't held in high regard (myself included) it doesn't mean that it was entirely horrible either and that it's undeserving of it's own recognition. There were some great ideas and stories in between the lines, they just weren't presented properly. Had the movies been done with the TLC that the Clone Wars series was done with, I'm sure there would be no complaints about them.

I also feel that there isn't really a need to have a "new" stormtrooper in every wave, and characters like the TIE Fighter Pilot or X Wing Luke are a waste of space in the lineup (unless they plan on making vehicles for these versions of the character the way they did with the excellent biker scout.)
